Hello again everybody. I have seen terms used in our Forum such as "SLM", "Sid Poole", "Matt", and "Westone Spares". I am still a new member to the Forum and do not know what these terms stand for. Could someone fill me in. Please. Thanks, Steve.

SLM: St. Louis Music, the US importer of Matsumoku and Korean-made Westones.Sid Poole: Revived the Westone name for a short time using his own designs.Matt/Uncle Mat/etc: Matsumoku, the original manufacturer of Westones, 1980-87.Westone Spares: A store containing exactly what you'd expect. Not always open and doesn't regularly restock.
